Is there some place I can buy a near OEM replacement glass screen?
I ran into a table with my phone in my pocket and the glass is destroyed, the Digitizer and LCD still work at all locations though so I guess that's good. I have since gotten the S4 (Free thanks to Best Buy on black Friday) but I would still like to fix the S3 in case my mom/sister ever want it.
I have found parts on ebay/Amazon but I don't think they are authentic enough, and I'm a stickler for having it as close to original as possible.
I wouldn't be opposed to paying more for something better quality. $10 - $40
I think you should buy the ebay one's, you wont find a glass only oem replacement because samsung only repairs the whole screen(digitizer,amoled, touch) not only the glass. I've repaired mine with a glass bought on ebay and it's been good for 8 months or more now.

Hi guys,
So unfortunately I cracked my Note 2's front screen by accident, and now I'm trying to see if I can replace it.
It's just the front glass, not the actual inner screen.
I just have one question, I found many front glass replacements online on Amazon and ebay, but are those actually Gorilla Glass 2 like the original or that is simply not possible and they are all just "normal" glass?
This seller here:
eby.co.uk/itm/200899972266?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Replied to me and said that it is Gorilla Glass because "normal" glass cannot be used.
Other sellers on ebay said that it's normal glass.
I have already ordered this one from Amazon though (hasn't arrived yet):
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2IAUWS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any opinions from people with more experience than me? is it true that there is no "normal" glass actually and it must be Gorilla Glass 2 anyway? or they are all just normal glass because you can't get the original one (unless you get it from another defective unit I guess)?
Cheers
yes it is..
hi mate.. i have thesame problem.. i was so drunk and my note 2 fell off from my hand while txting.. and that stupidity coasts me 30 bucks! i got a front glass replacement from UK (same link u have). i did it on my own and it's been a couple of months now since i've replaced it.. seems like it's gorilla glass since i'm not using any screen protectors and it didn't get any scratches.. but i doubt that it's an OEM.. and one thing by the way.. i've applied it by myself and i tried to use my S-pen.. for some reason it's not working.. so please send me a reply if ur S-pen works after the front glass replacement.. thanks!
Hi, I have just replaced glass on S3. On eBay there are two glasses, one with Samsung name on and one without. I made sure I got one with Samsung name on and the markings on the back are very similar to the one I took off. I suspect therefore it is Samsung original.
Also I stuffed the first time and had to take the new one off again and do it again. I gave it quite a beating doing this, so I think it would have to be gorilla glass ...ordinary glass would have broken for sure.
Some eBay sellers state 'original glass' so I think if the name is on it you are pretty safe.

Can i use glass from GT-N7100 on note2 GT-N7105 is that posable
My first choice to getting any parts is from etradesupply. I've bought a housing from there and it was just like the original. Also you won't find actual OEM parts, however what you will find is parts that are up to OEM quality standards. Just make sure you have a hair dryer or preferably a heat gun before trying to take out the front glass.

Hello,
I have also cracked glas. :crying::crying::crying:
Replacing was not the problem, by heating with support of some videos.
I tried new one on it, but there is no touchfunction, only SPen is working.
The double sided glue tape is only at the outdside area. Is that ok or should
there something between screen and glas ?
Do you have a set of glue tape and glas, where you know it is working good ?
Need your help very soon....many thanks in advance !!!!
best regards huggy2008
I just replaced my glass with a glass kit from Amazon. It was quite easy. However, it seems this glass is quite inferior. The display is not nearly as vivid, and the glass seems to reflect a lot of light. The screen is almost completely washed out an unusable in sunlight. I'm assuming it's the kind of glass this cheap $25 thing used.
Is there a known good OEM quality glass I can use that doesn't suck?
I replaced my glass as well. However I went on eBay and ordered a complete OEM LCD+Digitizer. Only because I've read reports that the glass alone is a cheaper quality.

The original screen and digitizer is bonded (glued) to the OLED display. I don't know how the original bonding is done, but I would guess that the method and bonding material has a lot to do with how transparent and free of reflections the display is. Seems like something that would be really hard for a do-it-yourselfer.
Ya there was optical glue between the display and the glass. The DIY $25 replacement glass doesn't have that. Just the tape around the edges. It looks like other have had the same result as me. I'm going to be sending it in to Samsung for their $178 OEM repair/replacement. This cheap glass will get me through the week and I'll send it in on Sunday.

I had the same issue and I ended up just paying Samsung for a replacement because it was so bad.
You know what's funny about this. For the 13 years I've owned a cell phone (always with sprint), I had the $7/mo total protection thing. Never once in 13 years did I ever break a phone. When I bought the S3 in the fall, I said screw this waste of money and dumped the total protection plan. Of course, I then promptly drop my phone off a ladder and smash the screen. (@&#$.
At first I was annoyed. Then I realized that total protection plan has a $150 deductible. It's only $178 to send it in for repair. Now I'm not as mad at myself. Although if I totally destroyed it or lost it, that would probably be a different scenario.
So my sister just got her S3 and dropped it. Screen had multiple cracks in it. She thought it would be easier to order just the top layer since the screen still could be touched. But when she tried to repair it the other screen came off and now it's just a black screen. I'm wondering if the most we would have to pay is 150$?

It is $178, not $150. I'm not sure if that will cover the cost of the display too, or just the glass. I think it might cover the whole display and the glass.
Are there any places that sell the Gorilla glass version of the top glass and not the cheap glass? I've found several chinese sellers on ebay, but they all look like the knock-off version of the glass.
my s3 is at&t the lcd is gold now. the phone still powers up but nothing on the screen. a guy at work had a s3 from verizon and dropped it and cracked the glass so he bought a new phone.
will the verizon lcd work in my at&t phone?

It should. I've interchanged them before with perfect results. And I just looked on Ebay, that font of indisputable wisdom and a lot of sellers are advertising their assemblies as working for either /or (AT&T i737 /Verizon i535). Unless there have been running production changes along the way, you should be good to go. In your place, I'd still Google some more to confirm but they were the same part the last time I looked.
What isn't the same is the motherboard /frames for Sprint. E.g. a Sprint assembly will work electrically, but not fit very well physically in another carrier's model.
You should also be aware that the exterior glass /digitizer /LCD is a bonded unit. The exterior glass is bonded to the digitizer with an optically clear adhesive. If you are prepared to live with the cracked glass, the unit from your friends phone should drop into yours relatively easily. If you intend to repair the cracked glass, the old glass needs to be carefully removed with a heatgun. Your local cellular dealer will probably repair the glass for about $90. Or if you are handy, you can do it yourself (new glass $10 on Ebay, how to videos free on youtube.. rushing and breaking your replacement LCD priceless).

I have a s3 already and have replaced the glass a couple times. 6 $ off of ebay. I swapped the two around the only issue was with the at&t board fitting in the verizon housing. A little trimming and it works great. The new glass has been ordered for this one as well. I was surprised at how easy it was to swap around
Hi guys my brother just recently bought a Zenfone 2 ... it's just 2 weeks old and he dropped it on asphalt from about 1m.... well even if it's gorilla glass 3 it shattered really badly. He's quite busy and asked me to find him a replacement glass but i have failed to do so, here is where you guys come in - does anybody have any exp with glass replacement? I mean where to buy it from. I found a really clear guide and video how to do it - now i just need to find a place to buy the replacement. It's only the top screen - touch works just fine - no problems wish the image either. So there you have it, we're in the UK by the way if that matters (so i guess no US shops...)
Thanks guys!

I purchased an actual Asus replacement on ebay for $25 shipped, took my about 45 minutes to replace it. You will have to purchase the double sided tape to stick it back in.
A $2 tempered glass screen protector from eBay or Aliexpress is also a worthy investment if your brother does not mind a submillimeter extra layer on the display.
The title says it all actually:
My G6 fell and the back is broken. Anyone knows where to order this part? A replica or original does not matter to me.
I generally buy this sort of stuff from eBay will be well worth a look.
This happened to me today. Apparently the gorilla glass 5 is not as hard as I thought it was. Dropped my phone from a height of 50cm and the rear glass is broken. Thank goodness the camera glass is ok.
Btw, this is the link where I bought the new glass (with adhesive). It costs $10 and I think that's a reasonable price.

Now I just need to find a tutorial video of how to replace it. Please share if you find a good one.

Did you manage to replace the back cover? I guess I have it worse, as I have my front screen glass shattered. Any idea where I could find the replacement kit?

I haven't tried it yet. I ordered the glass from china so it'll take some time to arrive.
You can get official LG parts from Spares LG website:

There's Witrigs.
I can't recommend them though, I never bought anything there.
